"Supernatural" star
Jensen Ackles took some time during the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con to talk about what's coming in Season 9 of his show.

Here are some interview highlights that Jensen had to share:

"They have no choice now but to dive in and figure out how they're going to navigate this whole new element that is now on their plate -- all the angels and demons ... We don't know how the angels are going to come into play, whether they're friend or foe."

"I like the fact that Dean is not playing the guilty cheerleader anymore."

On Crowley: "They think that he is going to better serve them alive than dead

"But of course it's all going to backfire, it's all going to go to s***. That's just Season 9."

"They have outgrown the scope of Dad's journal to the extent of what they're dealing with."

On Castiel becoming human: "It's going to be interesting to see how the relationship between Castiel and -- not just Dean but Dean and Sam -- goes from here, given the fact that he is just a regular guy. Might have to have a few training sessions in store... 'OK, this is how we load a gun.'"
